You might be familiar with Dave Ramsey, a radio talk show host who specializes in money management, getting out of debt, savings, and giving. He too is a Christian and very well known. Well, three weeks ago my mom mentioned that her and my dad were going to attend Dave Ramsey's 13 week Financial Peace University offered through my dad's work. Knowing that my husband would be very supportive and love to be included (being the big Dave Ramsey fan that he is) my dad was able to get us into the classes too. I wasn't super excited. It's a big commitment, one evening a week for 13 weeks, and I was already not so excited about all the financial advise my husband had absorbed from Dave. It's not that I don't agree with the program, I'm sure it helps many people. But I don't feel like we are in any kind of financial trouble. We've been able to avoid consumer debt, which is a huge problem for tons of people. My husband has always been wise with money and has taught me so much. But this financial state that the economy is in really concerns him and he thinks we can do better. I know he is right, but something inside of me is screaming "NOOOOOOO!" I don't want to feel financially strapped when we aren't. I know I sound like a spoiled brat, and maybe I am. We are so blessed. But, hard times may be ahead for all of us. I'm trying to absorb it all and apply it, but it's going to be a process and I need a little attitude adjustment. I'll keep working on that:)
